"Of course!"
Jiang Mian nodded meaningfully.
When Xu Xiaoan was "born," her soul had been reshaped, and her original form had changed from a ball of flesh into a human shape.
As for her appearance... it was based on the version she'd had while walking through Underground City, with a few minor differences in the details.
